WALKER

"Mrs. Ann Colby Walker, the daughter of Isaac F. and Margaret B. Colby, was 
born Dec. 25th, 1843, Near Carrollton, Greene County, ILL. She was born of 
Christian parents, in a Christian community. Her mind being impressed by the 
favorable surrounding influences, she in early life gave her heart to God, 
and received assurance of his acceptance. "In the day thou givest me thy 
whole heart I will be found of thee." "Those that seek me early shall find 
me."

She died at Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 21st., 1895, aged 51 years, 8 months and 
27 days.

She was united in marriage to William Walker and from that union leaves four 
children, two sons and two daughters and several brothers and sisters to 
mourn her loss. For the past 14 years she had been a great, but patient 
sufferer, and for the last four or five years has been unable to feed herself. 
Her suffering now is over, and she has entered the haven of rest.

The remains arrived in Pana, Illinois Sunday and the funeral service was 
conducted at the First M.E. Church, Monday morning at ten o'clock. Interment 
took place at Rosemond Cemetery."
